interesting because i sent an email to them and they said to call them.  i am in the philippines, so i sent it to my son to call them.  my son called them from the united states and they told him it cannot be reversed even after he escalated it.  they also asked why i would be sending money via friends and family to someone i did not know.

so now what?  looks to me like i am out $130.

PS:  markmj---sent you a pm asking for an email where i can send attachments so i can send copies of our gmail conversation which i downloaded to word and forward the emails i have on gmail.  also gave you permission to look at my correspondence with him on this forum.
